    Circuit Op-amp
AI Thread Summary
To construct a circuit that weights inputs as Vo = V1 + 2V2 + 3V3, a summing amplifier configuration using an operational amplifier (op-amp) is recommended. The circuit can utilize resistors to set the weighting factors for each input, where the resistor values determine the gain for each input voltage. Understanding the basic operation of op-amps, including inverting and non-inverting configurations, is crucial for designing this circuit. It is important to engage with the equations and attempt a solution rather than seeking direct answers. Proper forum etiquette encourages learning through guidance rather than completing homework tasks.

Homework Statement



Suppose you wanted to weight the inputs by different factors such that for instance Vo = V1 + 2V2 + 3V3. Describe how you would construct a circuit to do this.

Firstly, you ignored the equations section. Please enter the equations you know. Secondly, you didn't put any attempt at a solution. The purpose of PhysicsForums isn't to do your homework for you but rather guide you towards a solution. On top of that, I don't think this question is in the proper forum, since it's an electrical engineering question.

All of that said, do you know how an op-amp works? By that I mean, what does an op-amp do? Do you know what the inverting and non-inverting configurations are? Have you tried looking up what a summing amplifier circuit looks like?
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
